= IMPORTANT INFORMATION = ==== As a private candidate preparing for the CIE A Levels, I had a world of trouble finding stuff that would help me do well. On this blog I'll be posting resources and my revision notes that may or may not come in handy for History, Psychology and English Literature. ====

Things to keep in mind:

 * ==== You NEED to buy more than one book per paper for history and psychology. I will be posting a list of books I used. There are some books you can find online (you know what I mean), but I won't post them in their entirety for copyright reasons--just the titles. ====
 * ==== My revision notes may be misleading and may not make sense if you don't already know an outline of what I'm talking about--most importantly, the notes are just that, revision notes, so they don't cover everything too in-depth, they don't have proper grammar and once again, they are NOT adequate preparation on their own. ====
 * ==== There may be errors in my revision notes. If you notice any, please inform me asap so I can change things right away. ====
 * ==== You NEED to go through past papers. If you are a private candidate, past papers are your favorite friend. In the case of History, CIE does repeat questions, so go through question papers, mark schemes and examiner reports--you probably know where to find all that. For Psychology, they've changed the syllabus a bit, but paper 1 and 2 aren't all that different. Paper 3 is a bit trickier, but you should still use past papers to practice and go through mark schemes to understand what the examiners are looking for. For English Literature, mark schemes are generic, so just go through one, and then look at past papers and examiner reports. Also, the standards booklet--sample candidate responses--is very, very useful. ====
 * ==== My revision notes may often be incomplete, and you'll find that one particular document won't have everything in it. However, if you download most of the resources on a particular topic, you'll find the topic adequately covered across those resources. - [|buy facebook likes] ====
 * ==== If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll do my best to answer. Good luck! ====
